March 17, 2016 10:05

Political tempers are running high after AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi's statement that he would never chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.

Now, an Uttar Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shyam Prakash Dwiwedi has announced a reward of Rs 1 crore to whoever cuts Owaisi's tongue.

Dwiwedi has also called Owaisi a traitor and said he has no right to stay in India.

"Humko lagta hai woh desh ka gaddar hai aur iss tarah se Bharat mei reh ke, 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' bolne se iss tarah se usko parhej hai toh humko nai lagta unko Bharat mei rehne ka adhikaar hai. Humara yahi kehna hai jiss jibhwa se iss tarah ka woh bayanbaji karte hai, usko kaat ke lane wale ko 1 crore rupaye inaam dunga. (I believe he is a traitor and if he has any objection in saying 'Bharat Mata ki jai' then he does not deserve to stay in the country. His tongue should be cut and anyone who does will be rewarded with Rs 1 crore)," said Dwivedi.
